Hello,
This hesitation could be caused by many different things.  If the transmission has never been replaced, it may be time for a replacement.  Depending on how many miles you have on the car, the hesitation may be the first sign of a dying tranny.  I'd recommend bringing it to a local mechanic just to make sure.
Best of luck!

Have you done a transmission flush as of late?
